This challenge had me brain dead. I couldn't think of anything original. Everywhere I looked there were right angles but nothing I wanted to shoot. This is a last minute effort. I hope my scores don't reflect that. I liked the 3D look of this. I'll have to post my outtakes...I started the shoot outside but the darn cat kept knocking over the puzzle. Got some cute shots, though.

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments and votes. I had this setting on the table with two table lamps on the floor on either side and a centered overhead light. I kept experimenting and this one had "almost" the clarity that I wanted and I really liked the underside lighting. I was told by someone close to me that the one I didn't submit was better...figures. One never knows!
Lots of right angles here! I like the focus, texture and the way the puzzle seems to float in the air. Cons - the lighting just doesn't seem right, too "white" on the top and a little too dark on the bottom.
Simply stunning in its simplicity, line and form. Composition is good, but the lighting is what make this shot IMHO. Awesome. One of my top three this week. 10.
Great idea for content but actual image is rather drab - I'd suggest thinking of shooting from different angles and different heights, playing with light and shadow options and also looking at different backgrounds.
